China wins this event for the eighth straight time at the championships. It is the first time a country wins a specific diving event at the world championships eight times in a row.

"If you don't count it for me, I am not clear it at all. I usually don't count my medals, I just care about my performance. I have overcame many difficulties and injuries through all these years. Without the love of diving, I would not be here and would retire many years ago," Wu said.

Wu, who was called the Fragile Girl, was immature and erratic during 2004-2008 as she thought too much and expected too much that caused her to suffer many injuries.
